Anime Expo 2018 took place over the 4th Of July holiday weekend at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Anime Expo is the largest North American Anime convention. They spared no expense in making sure the cosplayers attending the convention felt right at home. Cosplayers join together for photo ops and in celebration of their fandoms. We have collected some of our favorite cosplays from 2018’s Anime Expo! You can also check out our other cosplay gathering listed at the bottom of this page.
Cosplay is a play on the words costume and roleplay! It’s when a person dresses up as a character from movies, television, or pop culture. It is similar to the idea of a Halloween costume but it’s something that happens all year long at conventions. Attendees at conventions dress in celebration of the characters they love. Many times drawing the attention of other con-goers and posing for photos.
